relief amount
In short and in plain language
The relief amount is money for people who are cared for at home. It comes from long-term care insurance.
It is meant for a set purpose. It can pay for approved help and support.
Relatives often ask about it, such as for help in daily life.
The care fund or a care adviser can tell you what applies in your case.
